In a new interview with The Guardian, the ‘Wish You Were Here’ singer shut down any kind of optimistic ideas that he would potentially reunite with Waters. “Absolutely not. I tend to steer clear of people who actively support genocidal and autocratic dictators like Putin and Maduro [president of Venezuela],” he told the outlet.
Gilmour continued: “Nothing would make me share a stage with someone who thinks such treatment of women and the LGBT community is OK. On the other hand, I’d love to be back on stage with [Pink Floyd keyboardist] Rick Wright, who was one of the gentlest and most musically gifted people I’ve ever known.”
Gilmour is so washed. Sure, the guy can sing and play guitar, but it’s so funny he seems to fancy himself a better all around musician, songwriter and activist than Waters. Dudes a lib through and through, he apparently doesn’t even know that Waters has signs up at his shows that say “Fight the Patriarchy” and “Trans Rights”.
Saw Waters in Salt Lake City a while ago. I have N E V E R felt the way I did there. It was almost like some revolutionary political gathering.
And to think, after that, that Water was anti trans? Dude had an entire stage made of screens, with images showing support for EVERY SINGLE marginalized person that exists. It was fucking beautiful.
Gilmore really made a fuckin’ fool of himself here, casting away an ally like that.
The thing is, foreign policywise, *David Gilmore tows the state department and MI7 line....
You think so? I think one of the biggest foreign policy issues right now is the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and he is, to put it lightly, extremely unconventional on the issue. I remember thinking he was a tool back when I was still somewhat liberal. lol
I forgot to mention, just to clarify, we're talking about David Gilmour, right?
Oh shit, I thought you meant Roger Waters. You’re absolutely correct about Gilmore.
